Zoned for Relaxation in Dickson
This thoughtfully designed garden in Dickson was created to complement the client’s home extension while blending seamlessly with the character of the local area. The design includes multiple zones, offering a range of functional spaces for relaxation and utility. A harmonious mix of materials, from timber and recycled brick to lush Mediterranean-inspired plantings, connects the indoor and outdoor areas, creating an inviting and versatile landscape for the client to enjoy.
A timber pergola serves as the focal point of one of the outdoor zones, offering both shade and style. Beneath the pergola, a timber bench seat adds warmth and comfort, creating a cozy space for relaxation. The natural timber tones are a subtle contrast against the garden’s greenery, adding an organic, cohesive element that ties the various garden zones together.
The carport area is enhanced by a sliding timber gate that provides privacy while adding a polished touch to the design. The timber gate and screening align with the pergola, creating a consistent visual language across the garden. This combination of utility and aesthetics ensures a welcoming and practical entrance to the property.
A low wall of recycled Canberra Red bricks doubles as seating and garden bed retaining, adding depth and functionality to the landscape. This rustic brickwork brings warmth and structure to the garden, contrasting beautifully with the silvery foliage of the Mediterranean-style plantings and the interesting texture of the shade tree overhead. The seating wall seamlessly integrates with the overall design, inviting relaxation and informal gatherings beneath the tree’s dappled canopy.
The side entrance is a lushly planted walkway featuring a striking sculpture that adds a touch of artistry. Deep green foliage contrasts against the rich red tones of the brick, creating a vibrant visual appeal. This carefully crafted entrance provides a serene and stylish transition from the street to the home, setting a welcoming tone for visitors.
